I'm a Decent Man, I Kept Repeating Lyrics

I returned from the war forever left without
Any dreams or memories worth keeping.
My attempts to reassure my father and my friends
Were met with scorn and wary eyes unblinking.
I tried to please the ones that showed me love.
"I'm a decent man", I kept repeating.
But their doubts could not be satisfied, a refrain sung til I die:
"I'm a decent man", I kept repeating.
Wicked I was born, from my mother I was torn
And my forked tongue kept from speaking.
Judgement handed down, forced to wear a crooked crown
As the patron saint of punks and weaklings.
It came naturally to me: what I was, not what I'd be.
"I'm a decent man", I kept repeating.
But my doubts could not be satisfied, a refrain sung til I die:
I'm a decent man", I kept repeating.
I wish I was free but I'm not today.
Wish I was free, no, not today.
No, no, not today.

I wish I was free but I'm not today.
Wish I was free, no, not today.
No, no, not today.
I wish I was free but I'm not today.
Wish I was free, no, not today.
No, no, not today.
